Maybe this is a well-discussed topic, and of course it's likely that someone has already suggested this method to remove the battery from the FJR with a minimum of swearing.
My OEM died yesterday, so I picked up a new Shorai battery and set to replacing the dead one.
After I had removed the body panel, and disconnected the power cables, it was obvious that grabbing it with my bare hands wasn't the ideal method.
So I looped 12" plastic cable ties through the terminals and secured them.
I then was able to withdraw the battery without any drama at all.
Ok, time to go for a ride.
Note: The Shorai makes the bike feel just a little lighter.
